Together, Kyle and Tyler traveled 425 miles to the beach. If Kyle traveled 240 miles, how far did Tyler travel? A) 2x = 425 B) x + 240 = 425 C) x - 240 = 425 D) x - 425 = 240

the answer is x=185

Step-by-step explanation:

x+240=425

-240 - 240

x = 185

B) x + 240 = 425

Step-by-step explanation:

Kyle and Tyler travelled 425 miles to the beach. This means that:

Kyle's distance + Tyler's distance = 425 miles

Kyle travelled 240 miles:

240 miles + Tyler's distance = 425 miles

We want to discover how far Tyler travelled:

240 miles + x = 425miles or x + 240 miles = 425 miles

This also means that:

425 miles - 240 miles = x

x = 185 miles

or

185 miles + 240 miles = 425 miles
